I never made enough money working to pay others to do my projects/repairs. My brother was a professional builder so I learned from him enough to do my own. My profession was auto body/paint/restoration and I did the mechanical as a labor of love. I repair my own furnace when it needs it (brain box solder joints deteriorating / auto ign. etc) Minor plumbing , drywall all my own auto mech work , decks , roofing, light elect etc , etc. This is all tax free income. My goal when I was 20 was to learn auto body/paint...not so I could "get a job" but so I could "own the shop". One doesn't have to work near as hard and long if he isn't trying to make a living for 5 - 10 other people. My body shows the wear and tear but I did it my way and would do it all over again. I had a few "jobs" for other people but when they realized they couldn't "own" me that was about it..sometimes my call...sometimes theirs and sometimes mutual. I had an "option" at home and they knew it...and most didn't like it. The one thing I hate is buying new tires...I can't make them...I have no option and they start wearing out the minute you put them on. I always joke that I'm not very good for the economy...so be it.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
